um so i heard something today that kinda upset me, i felt really awful. i was walking down the corridor at school on the way to Careers class i think it was and um some one goes to someone else " hey dont ya rekon if someone took an areal photo of this town they'd be more ants than maggots, how shits that?" and at first i didnt get it.i walked on by. it was only when i turned to my friend who was looking quite incredulous that i realised i didnt get it and it obviously wasnt i nice thing so i asked Bonnie and she said "hahaha the braniac doesnt get something (lol)" then i got it...... now if your a little slow on the up take too this person meant that there were to many black people in my town. isnt that the most horrible thing that someone would say that? a bit of local parochialism going on there! no, i wanted to say something to that person but unfortunately i dont know who said it and theyd gone before i thought to look for them i was angry but then i just thought "wow if thats how you think then i guess the jokes on you" but hmmmmm.... JE NE COMPREND PAS!! why say something like? that there is just no need for it
Yours thoughts..............?

My thought is we need to start seeing people less as black or white, young or old, male or female and start seeing them more as just people who aren't all that different from us in many ways.
ReplyDeleteyeah i couldn't agree more! i just dont see how people can harbour these stupid racial predjudices! in my opinion its almost jokes on them becuase they miss out on the really nice people out there like one of my best mates is asian and she is a legend or even gorgeous Anna suffers from that prejudice too. we can all learn so much from different people that it just hinders our own growth to think in such a narrow minded way
